Wool-free Yarn Profiles
Hi KAL members, Are any of you interested in trying to add to this blog/KAL a master directory of wool-free yarns available on the market? This may be a bigger undertaking then I imagine, but I'm willing to give it a try if we all get involved. What I have in mind is that week by week I'll add a new "Yarn Profile" to the KAL, and anyone who has tried that yarn could post comments about their experience with it in the comments section, and if you have an FO or UFO using the yarn, you could post photos/comments in a separate blog entry. Everyone is welcome to contribute their own yarn profiles--they don't just have to come from the moderator (me). Once we get a few of these going I'll add a directory column on our master page with links to all the yarns' websites. I'm open to suggestions on how we might make this most functional and useful for everyone. And if you're participating in the No Sheep Secret Pal Swap event, this might give you good ideas for yarns to send to your pal. Cheers, Jaime

Sounds like a great idea!
This would be a great help! I'm interested in a yarn swap. Is there a preference for natural ( eg soy, bamboo, silk, linen, other wood) only. Are nice polyacrimides also okay?
I'm particularly interested in yarns from recycling of sari's fine silks, mud cloth anything that was once fine or not so fine clothes.
Thinking about the idea of not wasting, being more green (yes I know the polyacrimides/nylons would be the exception to that goal)
Great idea!
Oh that would be me a fabulous idea! I usually get the strangest looks in my LYS so it would be tremenous help to me especially when I try to sub a yarn for a pattern I am trying to do in a non-wool/non-animal fiber.
This is a great idea! I'm not tied to all natural fibers, but I would love to get more information on great non-silks too.
That's a great idea. :)
